Abstract
(EN)
The techniques described herein are configured to improve the remanufacturing process by waiting to rebuild selective data items stored on a storage device that is unavailable. A storage device is unavailable when it is taken offline and/or disconnected from a network. The storage device may be taken offline due to a failed component (e.g., an actuator arm, an actuator head, damage to the underlying storage media, etc.). The storage device comprises multiple independent logical units, where a logical unit is a uniquely addressable portion of a storage device that is visible and/or that is exposed to a host. Accordingly, the techniques described herein are configured to conserve resources by selectively rebuilding data items stored in logical units of an offline storage device that are not affected by a remanufacturing process implemented due to a failed component.

Les techniques décrites dans la présente invention sont configurées pour améliorer le processus de reconstruction en attendant de reconstruire des éléments de données sélectifs stockés sur un dispositif de stockage qui est indisponible. Un dispositif de stockage est indisponible lorsqu'il est mis hors-ligne et/ou déconnecté d'un réseau. Le dispositif de stockage peut être mis hors-ligne en raison d'un composant défaillant (par exemple, un bras d'actionneur, une tête d'actionneur, un endommagement du support de stockage sous-jacent, etc.). Le dispositif de stockage comprend de multiples unités logiques indépendantes, une unité logique étant une partie à adressage unique d'un dispositif de stockage qui est visible et/ou qui est exposé à un hôte. En conséquence, les techniques décrites dans la présente invention sont configurées pour économiser des ressources par reconstruction sélective d'éléments de données stockés dans des unités logiques d'un dispositif de stockage hors-ligne qui ne sont pas affectées par un processus de reconstruction mis en œuvre en raison d'un composant défaillant.
